PHOENIX – Wade Miley breaks into a smile when he’s asked about the five former Cincinnati Reds players who are in camp together with the Milwaukee Brewers.
“We're back!” Miley says, laughing. “We're back!”
There was a point at the beginning of the offseason when Miley didn’t think he would be back in a Major League clubhouse. After an injury-plagued 2022 season with the Chicago Cubs, which limited him to nine outings and 37 innings, he mulled retirement.
